The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

There's nobody better than you

It took me a while till I knew

But you knew from the start it was us, didn't you?

It just took me a while till I knew

Now I lay as I study a blank wall

Would you spare me your voice if I call?

'Cause you waited and watered my heart till it grew

You just grew a little smarter too

So I don't blame you if you want to

Bury me in your memory, I'm not the girl I ought to be

But maybe when you tell your friends, you

Can tell them what you saw in me, and not how I turned out to be

There's some kind of burning inside me

It's kept me from falling apart

And I'm sure that you've seen what it's done to my heart

But it's kept me from falling apart

Now here I lay, as I wonder about you

Would you just tell me what I'm meant to do?

'Cause I've waited and watered my heart till it grew

You can see how it's blossomed for you

And I don't blame you if you want to

Bury me in your memory, I'm not the girl I ought to be

But maybe when you tell your friends, you

Can tell them what you saw in me, and not the way I am

And I don't mean to make your heart blue

But could we be what we're meant to be?

I'm just about to beg you please, and

Then when you tell your friends, you can

Tell them what you saw in me, and

Not the way I used to be

'Cause there's nobody better than you
